Online Events & Resources Provide Helpful Tips for Parents & Caregivers

LOS ANGELES COUNTY (January 13, 2021)—LA County Library is proud to announce the return of its virtual program series, Parent-Ade: When Life Gives You Distance Learning, which launched in winter.

This virtual series of events takes place Wednesday afternoons, with the next session on January 20; programs are offered in English at 4:00 pm and in Spanish at 5:00 pm. Events are held on Webex, allowing presenters to interact with parents and caregivers, and address questions and concerns in real time.

Each event and accompanying resources provide helpful tips on topics like: how to use library resources to support distance learning; managing and tracking your child’s schoolwork; helping your child stay focused and on task; and how to support your student and help them support themselves during the pandemic-era. Upcoming topics include:

  • Treating Yourself to “Me Time”
  • Working as a Team
  • Socially Distant Adventures
  • Staying Connected with Family & Friends
  • Signs of Stress in your Student
  • Balancing Work and Home

“Distance learning has been challenging for many parents and students during these unprecedented times,” said Library Director, Skye Patrick. “Now more than ever, it is important that we provide essential support services to our communities. We see Parent-Ade as a way the Library can help provide resources to parents and caregivers to set them up for success as they continue to navigate distance learning.”
